Get your MP to act against cuts
Comments

@Ranald ,While your point is valid and deserves respect, the big moral question in this debate is whether supporting Ukraine should be prioritised at the cost of stripping vulnerable citizens of their benefits.

I'm sorry to hear this! Is it saying your postcode is invalid?
Edit: I'm now aware there was a server error over the weekend. The page should hopefully be working now, but please do let me know if you get an error again!

Sounds like it’s hit or miss with these MPs, judging by your experience and that of other members. Some of them seem more loyal to Starmer than to their own constituents. However,I’ll continue sending emails, at least for them to keep a log of how many they’ve received since this whole scaremongering act began under the current government.
Thanks for asking about me. As I mentioned in my other posts, I have some blood tests and steroid injections later this evening. Apart from that, it’s pretty much a rest day for me. How about you?

Hi Tori,
Just had an email from our MP he's made space in his diary to see you all in Parliament on 2nd April. He's a liberal, and so far they've been pretty keen to criticise Gov plans. He's a decent bloke so will hopefully be very receptive : )

@Catherine21 just standard steroid injections with local anaesthetic. Haven’t gone that far to win “liquid Gold injections” 🤣

This kind of rhetoric goes back to Cameron and Osborne. Long before Trump told them to spend more on defence. I don't accept that cutting benefits is a direct result of stopping Putin.

I think you must have the same MP As me! Unless of course it's election time or a photo opportunity!

Many of them MP’s are just clones of Starmer, Kendal and Reeves , or puppets for a better word…. Mine is one for a start!!

@Tori_Scope , I’ve just realised that the consultation document isn’t available in an accessible format, making it difficult to read. If this reform is truly meant for disabled and vulnerable people, shouldn’t accessibility be a priority? Has Scope raised this issue with the government? Thanks.

Hi @noonebelieves 🙂 Really great point! The Government have acknowledged that this consultation form is not accessible, and have said that more accessible versions will follow. I'm sure someone on here will share the more accessible version as soon as it's published by the Government.

I’ve emailed my MP three times now. He has ignored me everytime. I will keep contacting him periodically though until he responds.
